Man, the Onion tech videos had some serious classics. I think of this one every time I have to try to change a minor setting on my (less than two years old) Sony receiver.

As always, from the department of “this has existed for years with first- and third-party software, including on Apple devices.”

Right, this problem sounds like it would solve itself in about 2-3 uses for most people who would do something as dumb as buy a CORDED chainsaw in the first place.

Maybe it’s not a perfect solution, but why not simply have different classes within a sport? Wrestling has weight classes, but is still divided into “men’s” and “women’s” which seems ridiculous when you already have a built-in class system within the sport. It should be: you’re in the featherweight class, you’re a…

I would presume the ‘power’ inherent in the Death Star refers to the fact that it can destroy an entire planet. That amount of power would probably be fine to create a fairly small ringworld - really it looked to be more like a space crescent-shaped city. But power creep in Star Wars has always been a thing, so…

It also takes place in a desert run by bandits and water scarcity, so there are plenty of Max parallels!

-He’s done with bounty hunting, he just wants to find Grogu

It was one of the awesome parts of this episode, especially when my first instinct was “uh oh, that’s going to be lost luggage, or the darksaber is going to be missing, etc.” But nope, just regular old mundane baggage check.

My theory is not Grogu armor (they definitely want you to think chain mail), but rather a necklace chain for the pendant he gave to Grogu.

Why does clone aging have to have anything to do with it? Dude took a lengthy vacation inside the Sarlaac. He need(ed, as of last episode) daily extensive medical treatment.

Thank you for being the first person in the thread to recognize that he doesn’t particularly give a shit about bounty hunting at this point, and being nimble and having just enough room for Grogu is his top priority.

Turns out Game Pass has been around a lot longer than we realized, we just had to go digging.

After initial playtesting, it turned out winning summoned forth a hoard of demons, and once they nerfed that people just didn’t want to play anymore.

It could go that way, but in the short term it’s going to totally be Gamepass on PC/Xbox and everyone else has to pay full price - and hey, Sony even gets the extra 10 bucks for the PS5 upcharge that is nothing more than a setting toggle from a software perspective!

It’s fun to see people fail to understand the differences between “monopoly” (which in the modern world, basically can’t technically even exist) and “anticompetitive practices” (which totally exist, but are incredibly difficult to enforce).

Because, from the article(emphasis mine):

Anybody who thinks MS is trying to lock down an ecosystem has never paid attention to the business model that MS has cultivated since they started. The whole entire point has always been to own the software and distribution. If anything, creating Xbox was an anomaly, and even then they wanted SEGA or other pubs…

Once again, “directly caused” has nothing to do with it. The “cause” is that this was an unwarranted, and unstable act. It doesn’t matter if the spit on the guy’s dog or whatever. That is not “cause” for someone to do something like this.

I’m sorry, but no “provocation” at a business warrants what that dude did in any way. Massive amounts of property damage, threatening people’s safety and HOLDING THEM HOSTAGE is in no way justifiable.
